Food was great, but was missing my rice. Mgr did give me credit for 2 egg rolls, which I love. However, she did try to argue about whether it came with rice or not. The app clearly asks for it so why wouldn't I expect it? Otherwise all was amazing.

This place has been great for two visits many months apart - first in the restaurant pre-pandemic and a few weeks ago with delivery service (masked and very polite, of course). Worth trying!!

Delivered fast & hot. Egg rolls: huge & good. Crab Rangoon: 6 & very flavorful. Hot & Soup: lots mixed in & good flavor. Pork fried rice: a little greasy - but awesome! Bad: Chicken meal: overcooked.

The Szechuan beef was very bland. Great hot and sour soup. Average portion sizes. White rice was mushy. Average egg rolls. Not spectacular but I'll order from again when I need Chinese delivery.

Good food with delivery within 45 minutes I felt that the only thing was the price of the egg rolls a little expensive given the size I would use this service agaun

The food was pretty good it is a fast food restaurant. Also the delivery was pretty fast. This is also part of the problem I had. The online app to order has a delayed order option. I needed to use this option because they accept cash only and I was waiting for my my life to come home with the cash. I delayed the order 45 minutes the driver showed up in 20 minutes. My wife wasn't home yet and I only had $4 cash. I sent him away. The order had been set to be delivered at 7:30 he arrived at 7:40 with the same food that had been riding around with him on his other deliveries. Not really the driver's fault still gave him a tip. One item was incorrect not the thing I ordered otherwise the food was pretty good.

The delivery was fast and the prices were fair. I didn't like that you paid a delivery fee AND had to have a minimum amount to order. The szechuan beef was not spicy at all and it is supposed to be. My soup was amazing and egg rolls were on par with other Chinese restaurants.

Shrimp egg rolls are perfectly crispy and full of flavor. Mongolian Beef is perfect spicy and sweet. I'd like the onions cooked just a little more, but that's just personal preference. The flavor is amazing and portions very generous.
